what's the public defense for him and what's the legal defense? >> well, he's got a great defense to criminal charges. it's called the statute of limitations. he lied under oath arguably in texas in 2005. if he admits this to oprah tomorrow. and the statute of limitations is gone on that. that leaves one possible area of wire fraud. if you do and engage in a fraudulent act and you use a telephone, the mail, or even television transmission wires to help you in the fraud you commit a federal crime but the last time he was accused of doping, his last race was in 2009. the other allegations go back even farther than that. he may be out of the statute of limitations for federal wire fraud and i'm sure he's discussed it very carefully with his attorneys and decided that although he faces criminal charges, they are unlikely. that leaves the civil charges. those are going to be serious. sponsors who paid millions of dollars for his good name undoubtedly had moral clauses in those contracts and they were deceived and they can sue to get their money back cl

if you look at cia, secretary of defense, state and treasury, all white men. what does he need to do moving forward so that there are more people who look like you and look like others who are in his cabinet? >> well, suzanne, the president has a long reputation of surrounding himself with diversity. whether it is racial or gender diversity. he grew up surrounded by women. his first cabinet reflected that diversity. and he is admitted to the second cabinet and the white house staff, and they will do the same. judge him when he is finished, not when he is just beginning. i am confident for after knowing the president for nearly 22 years, everyone who has seen the final cabinet, will appreciate that he picked the people best for the job, and will reflect the diversity of our country. >> one of the bibles, the king bible, why was that important to him? >> well, this is martin luther king jr.'s birthday weekend. his life is dedicated to service. we're here this day with a national day of service. he gave one of the most amazing speeches of our nation's history rig
